Services
Osteopathy
Our osteopathy services address musculoskeletal imbalances through hands-on techniques. We treat back pain, neck pain, and joint issues using myofascial release and spinal adjustments. Patients receive individualised treatment plans combining physical manipulation with lifestyle advice to prevent recurrence.
Baby Osteopathy
Specialised cranial osteopathy for infants addresses birth-related strains and developmental issues. Our gentle techniques help with colic, feeding difficulties, and sleep disturbances. Treatments adapt to babies' soft skeletal structures while ensuring parental reassurance and comfort.
Medical Acupuncture
Western medical acupuncture targets specific pain points through strategic needle placement. This evidence-based approach stimulates nerve responses to alleviate chronic pain and muscle tension. Sessions integrate seamlessly with osteopathic treatments for enhanced therapeutic outcomes.
Cranial Osteopathy
Cranial osteopathy employs subtle techniques to address skull and spinal imbalances. This approach benefits patients with headaches, migraines, and postural issues. Treatments focus on restoring natural rhythms in the craniosacral system for holistic pain relief.
Massage Therapy
Therapeutic massage addresses muscular tension and improves circulation through targeted manipulation. Our practitioners combine deep tissue work with myofascial release techniques. Sessions aim to reduce stress while enhancing physical recovery from injuries and chronic conditions.

Questions
Do I need a GP referral for osteopathy treatment?
No GP referral required. As primary care practitioners, we can assess and treat patients directly while maintaining communication with your healthcare providers.
Can osteopathy help with pregnancy-related discomfort?
Yes, we provide safe pregnancy treatments to address postural changes and prepare for labour. Certain techniques are avoided during the first trimester for safety.
Are treatments covered by private medical insurance?
We provide receipts for insurance claims, though we no longer hold contracts with AXA or Bupa. Patients successfully claim reimbursements directly using our documentation.
What post-treatment effects should I expect?
Common effects include temporary soreness, fatigue, or stiffness lasting 24-48 hours. Serious complications are extremely rare, occurring in less than 0.0001% of cases.
How many sessions will I need?
Treatment duration varies by condition. Acute issues may resolve in 1-2 sessions, while chronic conditions require multiple visits. Your practitioner will provide a personalised treatment plan.
Is osteopathy suitable for children?
Yes, we treat children and infants using adapted techniques. Common paediatric applications include birth strain relief, colic management, and developmental support.
